had concluded his remarks, the breth-

Naturally the second division OF the
discourse, introduced the subject OF
of education. The prevailing sentl-
ment as expressed seemed to be that
more attention ought to be paid to
teaching children the principle OF
right, not right because the law does
not say it is wrong, but right for the
sake of right. L..

and in such cases it is better to put
the drain through, making a perma-
nent improvement, rather than keep
men and teams idle while the land is
drying. But the full benefit of under
draining done in spring is not shown
until at least one winter has passed
over, the drained ground freezing the
soil deeper than it could be while wet,
and thus making it fertile to a greater
depth.

THE RIGHTS OF MAHRIED WO-
MEN,

The recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina relative to
the rights of married women is being
variously discussed, and in Some in
stances We think very unwisely dis
cussed. 1t is now the law Of the
State, and severe criticisms of the Su-
preme Court cannot alter it, and in.
stead Of mending the matter, if these
criticisms do anything at all, they
are calculated to create a disrespect
for the law and the powers that be,
and do more 10 incite to mob law
than anything else. The Supreme
Court is not responsible for the law.
This tribunal has nothing to do with
making the law. The only business
of the Court is to interpret the law,
and when this is done if it does not
suit US we should not indulge in Sc
we're structures and unjust criticisms
of the court, but we should attempt
to understand what the law is and
try to instil a respect for it, and if
we think it bad law, advocate its
repeal by the Legislature, the law
making power. 1t is right amusing,
however, to note with what show of
learning some Of our country cousins
criticise this decision of the Supreme
Court and labor to show how little
law, the Supreme Court Judges know.
Whether they know little or much
law their decisions make up the law
of the State and it should be our busi-
ness to inculcate respect for these
decisions, and thereby instil respect
for law, and in this way more than
any other keep down mob law and
lawlessncss.
Able lawyers will no doubt differ
on this question as is shown by a
division OF opinion in the court itself,
but they will have respect for the
opinion Of the court which is the
! ia~.
1t can do nc good t. compare the
ability Of judges in criticising this
decision, and such criticisms are un'
fair, unjust, and can accomplish nc
possible good. Then why indulge in
them. Better by far, try to find out
what the law is, in the light of the de-
cision, and if it is bad law or does
not suit you try to get it repealed
and have the legislature enact a bet
ter law, or one that suits you.

: School Commiss;on"r Sa'esinforms
nssthat there are in the county 52
schools Supported in part blythe pub
lie fund, andofthese, forty are kept
open forfrom eight TO ten months OF
the year. Fhe:average salary Of the
teachers is about $3.50. The public
fund is supplemented by tuition
charges and the schools generally
are working nicely. The public
school runs only for about three
months in the year, but. as will be
observed, nearly all the schools in
this county run for the full scholas-
tic year aid the teachers are well
paid and the public is satisfied. 1t
makes little difference, so far as this
county is concerned, whether the pub
lie schools run for three or six months.
The contract with tie teacher is
made apar; from the public fund any
way, and it is only used to help the
patrons of the school pay the teach
ers, and it is only so much for each
school and whatever it fills short in
paying the teacher for the year has
to be made up by the patrons, and it
makes little difference to them whether
it reaches over one, two, three. four
or even six months.

Five Negro Boys Killed at Shot.

WILMINGTON, \. c., May 5.-This
morning six negro boys, from - to
II years old, we're at the wharf of the
Wilmington Compress, preparing to
90 across Cape Fear River to shoot
rice birds. One, named Grant Best,
had borrowed a double-barrel gun
from a negro man, which. he says,
had no caps on the tubes, and be did
not know it was loaded. While in
the act Of blowing out one of the
tubes tile hammer fell and one barrel
was discharged, killing instantly Ed.
Smith and B. Fillyaw, and Ben
Conoly, F. B. Netles and Ed.
Fillyaw were also shot and died soon
after. Another boy named George
Best was wounded in both arms, but
it is likely be will recover. Grant
Best surrendered himselfi Immediately
after the shooting, and claims it was
accidental, which is generally believ.
ed, as one of the wounded boys is his
brother.

SMALL NaNTF4CTORIEs.

One Of the great needs of tie
South, and, in TACT. the greatest ueed,
is for more small manufacturing in
stitutions. We have all the natural
advantagesfor small industries. Fine
timber and plenty Of it, is to be
found along the swamps and rivers
of many parts Of South Carolina. We
heard only the other, day where
man in this county had contract
with western house to ship it
timber in the rough suitable for
wagons and pillow stocks and such
things, and he is now engaged in
cuttin, this timber and shipping it
in the rough to be manufactured and
sent back to us-in fact this same
gentleman, we were informed, had
just bought car load of plow stocks
manufactured in q different State.
If these manufacturing institutions
can make money by having the tim.
Der shipped from US to them, why
should there not be money in fac
tory right st the place where the
timber grows. 1t does seem strange
that we so long neglected to build
more factories, and not alone cotton
factories. If We ever expect to be-
come a rich ard prosperous people
we must build more manufactures,
and not depend entirely on cotton
for our wealth. We do not believe
that cotton growing should be aban.
doned, but we should build more fac.
tories and give employment to more
of our people.
There is to be found in this coun.
ty fine timber suitable for wagons
and buggies and plow stocks. Why
not have a factory snd work it up,
and instead Of having these articles
shipped here, make them here and
thus give employment to our people
and help build up our section.
| Thousands of bushels Of cotton
seed are shipped from this county
every year. Cotton seed oil mills
are profitable institutions. Why moi
build mill here and keep the. seed
and the profits from the mill at home
1t cannot be answered that we have
not the money, for We believe there i:
plenty of money to be had for suc}
enterprises, if we could only get some
enterprising citizens to take hold o
these things and work them up.
We must have these things to give
our own people employment, keeI
our mobey at home, and make ou
own section prosperous. We have
one Of theIes the countries in the j
~a5}ffT1d, a}ffT1d but we must diversity our in
dustries, if we expect to keep apace
with the progress Of other sections.

Mr.. Edward McCrady, Jr., of
Charleston, thinks the number of Su-

creased from three to four. We think
this would be wise move. We be.
lieye that after each term of the court,
when the cases heard are divided up
each Justice has about on an average
of one opinion day to write until the
next sitting Of the court. This is
too much work. How would it do to
let the circuit judges sit with the Su'
preme Court, one, two or >hree, at
each term and alternate, and increase
the Supreme Court in this way
This seems to us to be the best way
of increasing the court, and the most
economical.
